Horan’s warning for Mayo supporters

As the countdown to Sunday’s Connacht SFC semi-final against Roscommon gathers momentum in Mayo, manager James Horan has issued a stark reminder to the team’s loyal and long-suffering supporters.

Last month’s facile 17-point victory over Galway was greeted with enthusiasm by many of Mayo’s more excitable fans, but Horan is dampening expectations

Horan didn’t like what he was hearing and felt compelled to address the issue. But why exactly? “I suppose the couple of hundred people that said, ‘It’ll be great to have Cillian (O’Connor) and Mickey (Conroy) back for August’,” he smiled wryly, shaking his head.
